How to copy-paste text from one field to another, changing Font and Size

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour André,

Not tested but should work (in the script of the 'Paste' button) :

on mouseUp
   if clipBoardData["text"] <> empty then
     lock screen
     select text of fld 2
     paste
     set the textFont of char 1 to -1 of fld 2 to empty
     unlock screen
   end if
end mouseUp
